I live in US and have known my Filipino girlfriend for a long time but her parents don't know me Is it tradition for a man to ask a Filipino's parents' permission first before proposing to her?

  • Filipino families are often very close as families and although not totally necessary it would be very respectful of you to either go visit her parents so they can get to know you and accept you into their family; letting them know their daughter is marrying a good man or, you could invite her parents to come visit paying the full cost. Although your girlfriend is more Westernized it is most respectful for you to be accepted by her family and because you asked the question in the first place I am sure they will accept you into their family with open arms.

Why won't my fiance tell his parents he's engaged?

  • It's possible your fiance's parents may not want him to get married and would rather he is settled into his education; career before thinking of marriage. Communication is the key in any good relationship and it's time for you to sit down with your fiance and tell him that together you are going to tell his parents you are engaged. If he refuses then he's immature and if over 18 he is no longer a minor and should be able to make his own decisions and if he does refuse then give him the engagement ring back.

I got here on time, right? Ten o'clock is what he said, then why was he acting rude? I really hope he likes my resume. What if he makes me run errands or get the mail? I hope one day I'll be the editor-and-chief of the New York Times. I don't want to be stuck doing all the boring articles like obituaries in the magazine. I want to be the best reporter known to man. All the action will be captured when I report it, like when Obama has his next speech. But what if he doesn't like me, what if it doesn't work out? And if it doesn't work out then what, I go back to working at the Print Shop? No, that is not happening, because I'm going to get the job. Well on the resume I included I graduated from Chico State and I just hope all my other little jobs were enough. I want to move out of my parent's house so I could really use the money for a new place. Having all my own stuff and starting my own life, instead of being known as the girl next door who still lives with her parents. I wish he would just come back into his office and tell me if I got in or not. Some footsteps, I hope it's him telling me I got the job. Nope, not him, jeez what is taking so long? This office is so big and open I hope mine is just like it when I come to work here. I like the big office just minus the ugly purple chairs and the weird clowns all over the room, kind of creeping me out. Oh, I hear talking outside the door. Sit up straight, smile on your face, and eye contact!

  • Getting engaged is a training field to be sure that you are suited to each other before you take the vows to be married.

There are programs engaged couples can attend to prepare them for marriage.

When My fiance' and I became engaged, we'd already been together for a year and a half. In the beginning I had told him I didn't want to get married. I didn't even want to discus the matter. As time went by I became more and more sure that this was the man I was meant to spend the rest of my life with. He'd carefully hint around the subject but was too afraid to ask the question for fear of being rejected, so one day I told him how I felt about him and that I couldn't imagine my life with out him. When I asked him to Marry me he was so relieved! He didn't hesitate for a minute coming back with the answer "YES". We've been engaged for a little over a year and are due to marry April 16th. Everyday I am convinced that he is the one God intended me to share my life with.

Is it OK for a man to ask a woman to marry him without having an engagement ring in hand to give her at that moment?

That depends on what you value - when you say is it "ok", is it "ok" by who? Only you matter here - is it ok for YOU - no one else does. If you think it's ok, then it is. If you don't, it isn't. I personally think it's ridiculous to believe that having an engagement ring in hand is necessary for a proposal. It's sad when society starts looking at marriage as something more materialistic (I want a ring) or fantasy-like (I want the proposal to be romantic just like I've played it out to be in my head.) If you love him and want to marry him, the ring in hand at that moment itself becomes pointless. You might want to ask yourself what prompted you to ask this question. If you really love this man, I think you would be ecstatic with the fact that your dreams are finally coming true as opposed to wondering if it's "ok" that he didn't have a ring.

It's the tradition. Most women dream of this moment in their lives and it starts when they are just young girls. This sanctifies, your love and committment for each other, and the promise of marriage. This is the start of the rest of your lives together. This is very beautiful and how romantic for any man who loves their signifigant other that much to to propose marriage with and engagement ring. CONGRATULATIONS!

It is perfectly okay. He might not know her ring size, some couples choose to pick out a ring together, he might simply be so overcome with love that he didn't plan to propose, he might be proposing while skydiving, which isn't exactly the best place to carry around expensive jewellery.

Even if the woman does badly want a ring, it isn't alway for materialistic purposes. Some people just want a ring because it is a visible signal to the rest of the world that they're taken, so they don't have to keep getting hit on. For some people, the most important thing is that their fiance went through all the time and effort to look at rings and put thought into which ring he would like to see her wearing.

You know your fiancee better than anyone else, so the best thing to do is come up with the kind of proposal that you know will make her happiest.

If you need an enagement ring, don't waste your money, go straight to Ebay and find one within your budget. Got $100 to spend, there is something nice waiting for you...

:

my boyfriend gave me a ring on our anniversary but when i asked him why he's giving me that ring, he simply didn't answer. so being engage doesn't mean that he should give you a ring. actually i asked him too if he has given his past girlfriends a ring and yes he did gave them ring and this is his 3rd time giving a girl a ring. grr. I'm the 3rd one and it do hurt me. and yes I'm wearing it but it really hurts knowing that I'm the 3rd one he'd given a ring.

In my opinion, if the guy I love asked me to marry him and gave me a paper ring that he made from a receipt, I would say yes and feel on top of the world! And I am a jewelry lover so what I'm saying is if the love is there, real love, material things don't matter. I guess it depends on your situation, but if you really love this guy, him having a ring at the moment he proposes....it doesn't matter as long as it is sincere and you know he really loves you.
